Hallo all - this has been touched upon at COPE (the Committee on Publication Ethics http://publicationethics.org/  - which I chair) before, but usually the issue has come up before publication not after.

The main point is that the student has to be completely upfront with whichever journal he submits to - and they have to be very sure that the other journal did not go through an appropriate process - is that clear - or this will  be tantamount to duplicate publication.
The new journal is highly likely to find out with plagiarism screening etc and would take a very dim view if they found out after the fact. I think it would also be appropriate to be upfront about the review process (if
any) with the new journal.
If the paper is published then they should have a note on the paper too I think.
